Welcome to the Police State

During the cold war many “citizens” of totalitarian states were required to carry identification papers and show them on demand to authorities. This action was oestensibly done to check for criminals, but in reality the rulers of these nations had something more insidious in mind. They accurately released that making the citizenry live in fear of the police was a wonderful way to keep everyone under control.

Fast forward to 2005 and America is heading in the same direction. In September Deboarah Davis was riding the bus to work in Denver. A police officer came on the bus, asked for everyone’s ID on the bus, and had Mrs. Davis, a 50 yr old middle class mother of three, thrown in jail on federal charges. This is not my America, and this insanity has to stop now. Make a call to your reps and senators today and tell them that you’re concerned about how America’s freedom is becoming a permission society where the government dictates what route we can take to work, what planes we can fly, and what trains we can ride. What next? What roads we’re allowed to drive on?
